The St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) gives notice that it is initiating rulemaking to amend the above-referenced rules. These rules were last amended on October 1, 2013, to make them consistent with section 373.4131, F.S., which required the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) in coordination with the five water management districts (WMDs) to develop statewide environmental resource permitting (ERP) rules. The purpose and effect of this rulemaking will be to make corrections and provide clarifications that have been identified as necessary since October 1, 2013. More specifically, the rulemaking will: (1) delete the reference to standard and general (stormwater) permits in 40C-41.063(4) since the statewide ERP rules only provide for issuance of conceptual approval and individual permits; (2) reflect the transfer of 40C-42.091 into 40C-4.091; (3) replace, with better graphics, the figures depicting special basins (identified as Figures 41-1 through 41-4 in 40C-4.023, and as Figures 13.0-1 through 13.0-4 in the “Environmental Resource Permit Applicant’s Handbook, Volume II: For Use within the Geographic Limits of the St. Johns River Water Management District” (Volume II) which is incorporated by reference in 40C-41.043(5)); and (3) update the effective date for Part VI of Volume II as SJRWMD also will correct wording glitches in Volume II, and replace, with better graphics, the figures depicting soils (identified as Figures 13.5-1 and 13.5-2 in Volume II). These corrections include deleting language in 13.4.4.(d) (Off-site Land Preservation) that SJRWMD had intended to delete in the previous rulemaking to reflect the adoption of the Uniform Mitigation Assessment Method (UMAM) and inserting language in 13.4.2 (Floodplain Storage Criteria) that it had intended to carry over from the rule as it existed before October 1, 2013.
